Make these super easy DIY cork sailboats to add to your summer beach decor. I used red, white, and blue and added them to my DIY Patriotic Basket that I made for the 4th of July.

This is a fun craft and great for those who love the beach as much as I do. I used cotton fabric and red and blue bakers twine I had in my craft bin. The blue ribbon came from the dollar store.
